About Kiana

Kiana Thomas is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing sleep difficulties, stress, anxiety, and relationship concerns. She writes in plain terms and focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions. Her manner aims to be calm and down-to-earth for someone feeling overwhelmed by day-to-day strain.

Kiana earned a bachelor’s degree in Experimental Psychology from the University of South Carolina and a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from South University. She has five years of clinical experience across private practice and public agencies. That background gives her experience with mood disorders, trauma and abuse, addictions, and adjustment to life changes.

In sessions she makes space for each person’s priorities and goals. She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Client-Centered approaches to help people notice patterns, test small changes, and build useful habits. Mindfulness and Motivational Interviewing also inform how she supports motivation and self-awareness.

Kiana assists people with a wide range of concerns including stress, depression, ADHD, eating and intimacy-related issues, and problems with self-esteem. She also addresses topics such as abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, and compassion fatigue. She mentions work with veteran and armed forces issues among other focus areas.

Sessions are offered in English and are based in South Carolina. Prospective clients should use the site’s Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire to be scheduled according to therapist availability.

Approaches that shape online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the person brings to the session, helping them feel heard while guiding their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and tests small changes to reduce symptoms and improve sleep, mood, and daily routines. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes setting clear, short-term goals and identifying practical steps that lead to noticeable progress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and adapt methods over time. Together they decide which strategies to keep, which to adjust, and when to try new techniques.

Confirm the session formats before booking so you know what options are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter check-in sessions when needed, and remove commuting time. It also makes it simpler to maintain continuity of care when schedules change, while letting people practice skills in the settings where they live and sleep.
